It was excellent, tries to explain to non car lovers what the passion is all about, its not just about the car.

because it is a documentary it won't be at the cinemas until August.

That was simply a fantastic story about a bloke, a bunch of his closest mates and a car. I was riveted and went away with a renewed respect of Eric Bana. Just a good old, down to earth Aussie bloke.

Very good movie, would have loved to have seen it again, but it was a one time only showing at my cinema here in dubbo, shame it wasnt really advertised, about myself and 6 others were in the cinema.

I was lucky... was flying over to the States, and found that it was on in the inflight entertainment - 2 days before it was being released in the cinemas. So i watched it once going over and twice coming back....

It's essentially a chronicle of him and his best mates all working together to look after his first car, all the way up to when he has a buster at Targa Tasmania.

There's absolutely no Hollywood about him when he's with his mates.

Yeah, even when he was in Hollywood, he was having a beer and being a decent, funny bloke.
